The function of this committee has been to study the feasibility of establishing a joint communications center for various town departments. In making this study, the committee, after familiarizing itself as to the present communications systems and their advantages and disadvantages, had to also make what it considers were reasonable assumptions as to probable conditions in the various town departments in the immediate and more distant future.
The committee has unanimously concluded that for the present and immediate future a joint communications system would be not only more costly than the present system, but also less efficient.
Regarding the more distant future, this committee is inclined to- wards the same opinion, but recommends the Board of Selectmen that in say five years or when circumstances may otherwise warrant it, the Board appoint a similar committee to restudy the situation as it will then exist.
Respectfully submitted, E. Kennard Fletcher, Chairman Malcolm J. Eastwood, Secretary Joseph R. Connell (Chief, Police Dept.) Elroy A. Field Edward N. Lamson (Chief, Fire Dept.)

REPORT OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
January 27, 1964
The Honorable Board of Selectmen Town Hall Westford, Mass.
Gentlemen:
I herein submit my report for the year ending December 31, 1963. In so doing, I think it only appropriate that I review law enforcement in general and a few points in particular so that you may have a better understanding of the problems with which we are faced today.
There was a time within the memory of most persons when the portion of the population against which the police took official action was minute. There were vicious premeditating criminals and others who violated the law for their own gain. The rest of the population tacitly approved police action against them and the product of police work sold itself.
There are still criminals in the population, of course, and purpose- ful disturbers of the peace. A look into the future gives little indic- ation that this fact will ever be otherwise. If statistics are not completely misleading, there are not only more criminals and more crimes today, but the rate of increase is climbing. Public support for vigorous action against the element is likely to increase; if anything there is usually public impatience with the police for not acting more quickly and more vigorously against criminal offenders.
The causes of crime are many but increased mobility of the criminal is most telling. Hardly of less importance is the enormous growth of the population and its rapid concentration in urban areas such as here in Westford. While the changes of the next thirty years may not be as great as the last thirty years, it is certain that the future urban crime pattern will be closely tied to more people, denser concentrations of people, and mobility. It is imperative therefore that this department grows in proportion to our needs so that we are not forced to increase our number spontaneously in the future, and then find that we have a large group of untrained officers protecting the community.
During the past year, as you may note, the number of crimes com- mitted in Westford, and the overall duties and functions of this depart- ment, have increased steadily over previous years. Because of its size and the steady increase in population, Westford is not, and cannot be, adequately covered with the present arrangement where there is but one officer on duty during the day. I am requesting an additional man to remedy this situation.
Capabilities of personnel will in great part either limit or aid me in my efforts to carry out my responsibilities to the citizens so that Westford's reputation with respect to law enforcement will be re- tained as we gradually move from the small town category into that
51
of the larger town. With this in mind I have submitted to you gentle- men an article to be placed on the warrant for consideration by the voters at the 1964 annual town meeting. This article deals with the question as to whether or not the Chief of Police may have authority over his department. At the present time I do not have that authority. In lieu of any previous discussion with the voters relative to this matter I feel that I am obligated to explain to them why it is imperative that this authority be delegated to me as the Chief of Police. It is a principle that authority should be commensurate with responsibility. It is a principle sometimes violated when an official is granted insufficient authority to perform tasks for which he is held responsible.
In the town of Westford the heads of other departments have authority over those departments. However in this department, which had been established to protect life, property and rights, and to pre- serve order, restrictions have been placed on me which manifestly tends to encourage applications for employment here by persons who may be motivated by nothing more than job security. I intend to discuss this at the annual meeting so that people may familiarize themselves with that part of the town government which deals with the protection of their lives, the safety of their families and the protection of their property.
Presently our office, which is in radio contact with our cruisers, is covered during two shifts, and we are able to respond immediately during those hours. However between the hours of 1:00 AM and 9:00 AM daily this office is not covered. There is a paramount disadvantage inherent in this situation in that in an emergency the person calling may not have time to dial alternate numbers to obtain the services of his police department and the results could be tragic. It is my responsibility to advise you of this and I am requesting additional funds so that we may hire a clerk dispatcher who would be assigned to our office between those hours.
Because of the increase in the number of crimes against the person, particularly those committed against women recently in other communities, coupled with the fact that the perpetrators in most cases have not been apprehended, I feel that a by-law which would require solicitors to register with this department prior to such soliciting should be accepted by this community.
A matter which requires our immediate attention is the present lack of office space at our station. Our police station consists of one room in which all business is conducted. People who have had occasion to visit this office, and particularly those wishing to speak with me on confidential matters, are aware of our needs in this area. While interviewing witnesses or interrogating suspects during an investigation, our facilities do not permit us to exercise the prime requisite for a successful interrogation, privacy. My request for space at this time is for one additional room, so that people coming to this department with a problem or complaint may be accorded that consideration.
52
Finally, but of no less importance, is the matter of compensation which is paid to the officers of this department. While people are be- coming more aware of the lawlessness that prevails throughout the nation, they are becoming more conscious of their safety and that of their loved ones. They are coming to the realization that one day their lives may depend on how quickly they can reach the police department, how quickly that department is able to respond and the effectiveness of the police officer when he arrives. The police officer is expected to keep abreast of the law at all times and on many occasions finds himself in the un- enviable position of acting in place of a doctor, a lawyer, a family counselor, a baby sitter, and a clergy man. He is expected to make on the spot decisions, and those decisions are expected to be correct. Wages offered to police officers in any community must be commensurate with their responsibility, and unless law enforcement is recognized for what it is, citizens in the community will be settling for mediocrity in their police department, which will be capable of providing services that are something less than adequate.
I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen and all the members of this department for their cooperation during the past year. I also wish to thank the citizens of Westford and members of other departments in town who have assisted this department in any way. I also acknowledge with thanks the assistance rendered this department by all other police departments in neighboring communities, the Massachusetts State Police, the Justice, the Associate Justice, the Clerk of Court, the Probation Officer and all other members on the staff at the First District Court of Northern Middlesex.
Respectfully submitted, Joseph R. Connell Chief of Police
